hi,
There are many functional modules in SAP, like SD, MM, PP, FICO, CRM....etc..... you can choose any one of these based on your education and work background.
Get your self certified in that module and you are ready to enter the SAP world.
Check this SAP Certification Policy which states all the details about certification including experience and all:

Guidance needed for UCM certification

Hi All,
I am working on UCM for the past 5 months. I am willing to get UCM certified.
What are the main topics to cover , best book to follow, website and what topics are of less importance.
Please suggest me how and where should I begin?
Thankyou

I haven't seen anything that really qualifies as the definitive guide to this particular certification, and the "free" sample tests I saw offered on the web had wrong answers to a lot of the questions. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from taking the test, but the availability of reliable material makes prepping for this test really tough.
When I took the exam, it touched on many areas of the product:
Core Content Server (profiles, security, admin applets for example)
Site Studio
Digital Asset Manager
Document Capture
Forms Recognition
Imaging
Universal Records Management
Information Rights Management
My experience and advice would be that you have to be aware of all of these areas (and I hope that I didn't miss mentioning any topic areas). You must be really strong in many areas to cover up for those areas of the test where your knowledge is lacking.
The questions are spread far enough around the overall suite where you realistically can't have more than one weak area of knowledge. As I recall. the test was 69 or 70 questions with a minimal passing score of 70%, so you are likely to see an average of about 8 or 9 questions per area mentioned above (more on some, less on others). If you've never dealt with Rights Management or Forms Recognition for example, you're likely to miss those questions, making your max score at best 56 out of 70, or 80% assuming you miss nothing else. That leaves you about 7 misses across the rest of the potential test material and still get a passing score.
The test is really designed for practitioners who have considerable experience in implementing the solution stack, as some of the questions that I saw could only be answered by someone who has done this for a while. I don't see this test as one where you can easily bluff your way through, or get enough reminders/hints from other questions to get through successfully, since the broad scope of the material that you must cover really doesn't lend itself to such hinting help.
I don't intend to sound negative on the test at all, but I want to set realistic expectations based on me actually taking the test.

Advice needed for oracle certification

HI
I have completed my "1z0-007" and "1z0-042" in 2009.
Now i am planning to do oracle RAC certification, what is the best way to do it, I mean with my existing certification what other certification i have to do before i write the oracle RAC certififcation ?
Thanks in Advance.

The pre-requisite for the RAC certification exam is OCP for the database (the same or higher version).
Thus, for 1Z0-058 (Grid and RAC Expert in 11g), you need to be an 11g or 12c OCP.

Guidance needed for psunami plugin!

hello everyone,i have to make a logo come out from between the waves created by the psunami plugin.any kind of help regarding how to do that would be highly appreciated.
regards,
Abhishek

There are a bunch of tricks for Psunami. You can use the image maps to displace the water and to lay the logo on the water. The displacement works fairly well to simulate a boat wake or a shoreline. The problem with using image maps as displacement is that they aren't flat. IOW, they follow the flow of the waves.
The key to making Psunami work well is to make sure that you pick Realistic or better for the Render mode, and when working with image maps to displace and texture, to keep the Coarse Grid and Fine Grid at small enough values to avoid funky artifacts. You'll also need to set the Ocean Detail to at the very least Video Detail. Don't expect a fast render.
I'd suggest that you set up your project with the logo as an image map set to Displace using the Alpha of your logo with the intensity set to 0. Then when you've got it raised out of the water enough, split the layer (Ctrl/Cmnd + D) and change the image map to Displace and Texture Below. Overlap the two copies by adjusting the out and in points so the wave action matches. This would fade in the logo color in like it's coming from below the water. As the logo rises farther out of the water split and overlap the layers and pick Texture Above or Texture On to achieve the look you want.
The Logo is going to bend just like the water, but the color will be there. If you need to morph the logo to a flat surface then you'll have to match the angle with another copy of the logo as a 3D layer then carefully transition between the two. With Psunami you'll never be able to make it look like the water is running off the logo. You can fake it fairly well.
If you need to have the water run off the surface my suggestion would be to do this in a 3D app. Blender (free open source) has some pretty good water effects and there are a bunch of tutorials. Depending on the realism you're trying to achieve you might want to composite some actual footage, some 3D, and some Psunami. This is definitely not a one click, one setting, one layer, two keyframe project.
Just for fun I set up a project using CS5. It took about 5 minutes because I did a lot of this kind of stuff a long time ago. You'll find the file HERE. I hope it helps. The resulting image looks like this:
As you can see the logo moving along with the water and it still looks submerged. It takes a bunch more work to make it look like it has move up and out of the water.

Guidance needed for KM and Collaboration

Hi All,
I am new to the EP platform.I would be grateful if anybody can help me out with these questions:
1)When I have EP 6.0 installed,does that mean 'Collaboration' capabilities under 'people Integration' are also available to me?
2)If yes,how and where do I start for the 'collaboration' functionality.How do I set up a virtual room for sharing documents.
3)If 'collaboration' requires separate installation from EP6.0,then how do I install it?
thanx in advance,
Prasanna

Hi Prasanna,
to specify PK's answer more clearly for someone who is new to EP.
1. When you install EP6.0 you have the option to install the Platform only or EP6.0 Platform and KMC (Knowledge Management and Collaboration).
2. Installing also KMC you have all the collaboration functionalities in PCD roles. You have to assign yourself this roles (com.sap.netweaver.coll.*) in order to use the collaboration rooms. i.e.: After assigning the role com.sap.netweaver.coll.CollaborationRoomCreation you can go on Collaboration -> Rooms -> Room Creation in order to create a collaboration room for sharing documents.
3. The most important thing is that after the Installation of EP6.0 Platform and KMC you have to do initial configuration tasks as described in the Administrator Guide on help.sap.com/ep -> Collaboration. Without this tasks you can not use Instant Messaging, Application Sharing or other collaboration features.
Hope that clarifies things,
Robert

Guidance needed for non user ... so to speak...

First off, I know nothing of value regarding wireless through VZ.
So if this is not a proper place to post, perhaps you can advise, and will move over there.
While we have a cell phone, it is only for usage when on a trip out of town ... and we do not use it even at home ..... except to 'burn' off the minutes now and then, rather than losing them.
We use a satelitte service for our internet. Have used it for last 4-5 years; but recently read something that leads me to believe that perhaps a cell phone may be a better option.
Why a better option ... because the satelitte service, while being faster than dialup, is not that much better ... now that the places where the feed goes up and down has become over crowded with users; versus years ago when it was not crowded ... and to try to get the satelitte company (WildBlue) to move our account is ignored.
Our fee with WB is 50.00 per month.
So am open for education ... not only in the poor service addressing, but also fees.
Our cell phone fee is 10.00 per month ... "Prepay". As to how many minutes that gives us, don't really know because we have never used them all up ... and the total minutes keep building up each time we send in our 30.00 dollars.
I did once, a few years ago, acquire the necessary program and hook-up stuff to use the cell phone for modum when on the road.
At home, my desktop and laptop are wireless, and wireless router and modem that WB provides.
Wife's desktop, older Dell, is hooked up to the system via wire into the router.
Sorry to be so wordy, but trying to post stuff you may need toknow.
So, can someone educate me please regarding if there is any advantage to switch over to VZ ... our carrier in our town ... speedwise and or possibly total fees based on what I reveal above.
OH .... being that our cell phone is 3-4+ years old, presume it to not be ... bluetooth ??? --- equipped.
Thank you

Are you thinking of using Verizon for mobile broadband service and getting rid of WildBlue? Here's a page that explains some of the options:http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/mobilebroadband/?page=plans
You can also get a smartphone, such as an Android or Palm, that can be used as a mobile hotspot for up to five devices. There is an extra charge to use an Android phone as a hotspot, but mobile hotspot is still free on a Palm Pixi Plus. Since you don't use many minutes, you could get the basic calling package for $39.99, then a required data package for smartphones. Keep in mind that all these mobile broadband options have caps on data usage. However, you can get unlimited data on a smartphone and won't have to worry about it on that device (mobile hotspot is not unlimited).
Hope this helps. As the previous poster said, call customer service or visit a corporate store and someone will suggest solutions for you.
As soon as we go to the city again, I plan on just that ... going to the VZ 'store'. The community we live in, all 3k of folks ... no stoplights, etc. ... is remote and isolated, as is much of America. Seems that only the folks in the big metropolis units get all the bells and whistles of these **bleep** companies.......even though our community has ALL the Fed. Govt. offices in it.
As a result of that fact, the only access I have, as a former DSL user, is wireless ... which is 'probably' about 1/3 to 1/2 faster than dialup. I got spoiled with DSL, and curse every day when on the internet. Thought satelitte would solve the problem ... but does not ... only more $$ out the door for lousy results ..... due to latency of course.
So when I read about EVDO, it appealed.
But now, after all this time, I am hearing that I may not gain that much to justify all the extra charges. Our 'little' cell phone runs us 10.00 per month ... and we NEVER use the minutes provided.
I just do not see any speed advantage by changing.
So I am at a standstill...........and am thinking of forgetting it all as not worth changing ... and letting the cell phone minutes die a death by not renewing the quarterly charges...... especially since we discovered on our last RV trip that all we need to do to connect for messages, is park behind the motel complex, and use the wireless laptop to signin on a unsecured wireless connection. Piece of cake.............

Guidance needed for how to animate on linux

Hello,
For some rather long time I have been trying to figure out how I can make an animation in Linux and doing so through material obtained with a framegrabbing device. Captured from a camera of course. But how longer I try to find software and howto's the more I find myself lost. At this point Im about to resort to Windows because then I can be busy in doing stuff this same day.
Perhaps Im seeing things more difficult than they are, but I could use some help in how to
-setup my camera to work
-get some sort of framegrabbing software
-make an avi out of the pictures
-editing software
Sorry if the answer is very obvious, but I find myself being very irritated for not finding a way or by using unstable editing software etc etc If anyone has some howto to point to you, you are welcome in sharing.
Thanks.

You haven't even mentioned what you have tried/used before. FWIW ffmpeg settles the first 3, and cinelerra the fourth. Video isn't exactly mature on Linux but there's still plenty of choice.

Needed software for ABAP certification training

Hi All,
I am a software developer. I'm new to SAP, but exited about working hard to become an SAP Development Consultant. I plan to take the courses
TAW10_54 ABAP Workbench Fundamentals
TAW12_52 ABAP Workbench Concepts
which end with a certification test for
Development Consultant SAP NetWeaver 2004 Application Development Focus ABAP
I think I will need to have my own access to the development tools for my training outside the classroom. I have found that there is a download: SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - ABAP Trial Version. My questions are:
- Is this download what I need to set up a development environment for training and testing the skills from these courses?
- Is there som other way to get access to working tools for certification training needs?
I will be very grateful for any info/tip on how to test Netweaver application development using ABAP.
Best Regards,
Inge

Hi,
There is a web site www.sapdomain.com which is for ABAP certification. It is useful if you want to go for the SAP ABAP certification.

The SAP Software Partner Program is an established program that encompasses all types of qualified application vendors with certified integration and broadly targets all types of software applications and tools that complement SAP solutions.
The Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program is a value-added addendum to our partner programs that is intended for vendors who specifically certify solutions as Powered by SAP NetWeaver. A separate, platform-centric program, the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program does not require pre-enrollment in the SAP Software Partner Program. The program accommodates the special needs of both a platform ecosystem and vendors who provide solutions based on and certified for the SAP NetWeaver platform.
Independent software vendors (ISVs) can create innovative, high-impact solutions and sales opportunities for the SAP customer ecosystem by becoming Powered by SAP NetWeaver and immediately helping customers lower IT investment costs and risks.
How do I join the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program?
Please contact us directly at [email protected].
For general information about Powered by SAP NetWeaver, take a look at the resources available at the SAP Developer Network (SDN) site at http://sdn.sap.com.
Will SAP ensure that other partners (and SAP) will not offer solutions that compete with mine?
The Powered by SAP NetWeaver partner program is open to all enterprise software vendors who wish to certify and run their solutions on SAP NetWeaver. Part of being an open ecosystem is open and fair competition among partners, and between SAP and partners. SAP cannot guarantee exclusivity of individual partner solutions, nor can we guarantee that we wont offer competing solutions.
What are the requirements for vendors to join the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program?
To qualify to become a member of the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program, you must meet the following minimum criteria:
Have at least one developer trained on SAP NetWeaver technologies.
Deploy your solution according to one of the Powered by SAP NetWeaver qualified certification scenarios and certify it with the SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC). Qualified Powered by SAP NetWeaver integration scenarios:
Certification of SAP NetWeaver (Web) Application Server (SAP NetWeaver AS, compliant with J2EE or ABAP) and SAP NetWeaver (Enterprise) Portal, or
Certification of XI-Adapter with full integration in SAP (NetWeaver) Exchange Infrastructure (SAP NetWeaver XI), or
Certification of XI-Content integration in SAP NetWeaver XI in combination with SAP NetWeaver Portal (XI Content certification can additional be certified against certain industry standards)
Have at least two sales resources trained on SAP NetWeaver sales messaging.
Have an assigned contact person.
Attend a minimum of one SAP customer event each year.
Actively support positioning SAP NetWeaver as an open technology platform.
Adhere to SAP logo and branding guidelines.
What specific benefits will I receive if I join the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program?
The Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program offers many benefits. By becoming a certified Powered by SAP NetWeaver partner, you and other certified ISVs will be able to share knowledge and collaborate with SAP at the most cost-effective level to develop, integrate, and deploy world-class solutions that are supported by SAP business planning, enablement, and go-to-market resources and that drive innovation and growth. Another benefit of solutions that are Powered by SAP NetWeaver is their inherent flexibility. Enterprise Services Architecture, the SAP blueprint for service-oriented business solutions, allows you to integrate people, information, and processes and create solutions that enhance and extend current touch points while maintaining open standards and interoperability with other platforms.
ISVs that are certified Powered by SAP NetWeaver partners can reduce their customers total cost of ownership (TCO) and risk by adopting the platform that is quickly becoming the de facto standard among the Global 1,000: the mySAP Business Suite family of business solutions, which are powered by SAP NetWeaver.
The following are some of the benefits of the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program.
Technology Benefits
Development package
SAP NetWeaver test and development licenses (available)
SAP NetWeaver training (available)
Two days of consulting support (available)
Remote consulting (available)
Sneak preview of new SAP NetWeaver technology and early participation in SAP partner go-to-market initiatives
Marketing and Sales Benefits
Use of Powered by SAP NetWeaver logo
Sales kit templates, such as solution brief
Inclusion in the SAP Partner Directory, available to SAP field personnel, customers, and partners
A prominent web site profile
Access to the online/downloadable SAP NetWeaver Partner Playbook for ISVs
Press release support announcing customer wins (optional)
Active promotion of Powered by SAP NetWeaver partner solution into SAP channels
Opportunity to participate in SAP events, such as SAPPHIRE and SAP TechEd
Exposure to SAP installed base
Inclusion in the SAP NetWeaver Partner Solution Catalog
As a Powered by SAP NetWeaver partner, how will information about my certified solution reach SAP customers and account executives?
SAP provides many avenues for members of the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program to communicate the availability of certified products through our sales channels, including the use of marketing materials and events. All members are given the opportunity to establish a high-profile presence on SAP.com that highlights their Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions. SAP also provides a series of templates for building collateral and demos that are pushed out through the SAP intranet to the entire SAP global field sales force. In addition, SAP makes the library of Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions available to customers through both online and printed materials distributed by SAP. On occasion, SAP will hold seminars, Webinars, and road shows with select partners to co-market the partners Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions.
What are the major reasons an ISV should switch now from Oracle, BEA, or Microsoft to SAP NetWeaver?
Most ISVs will support more than one platform. We believe that SAPs unique position as a true Applistructure provider makes SAP NetWeaver compelling as a primary platform of choice for ISVs who are looking to make full use of Enterprise Services Architecture and realize the potential of web services.
What does it cost to become a member of the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program?
There is no fee to join the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program. There are, however, costs associated with individual elements of the program, including certification, training, and test/demo software licenses, when needed.
What does the Powered by SAP NetWeaver certification process entail?
Several options exist for third-party applications to become Powered by SAP NetWeaver and achieve integration certification with the Powered by SAP NetWeaver branding. Current opportunities include the following:
Portal Integration
All Powered by SAP NetWeaver endorsed solutions have a certified integration into SAP NetWeaver Portal, usually via certified business packages.*
*[exceptions are SAP NetWeaver XI adapters and some ABAP add-ons]
J2EE Applications
J2EE applications are certified for deployment on the J2EE Engine in SAP NetWeaver AS.
ABAP Add-Ons
ABAP add-on applications are certified for deployment on the ABAP stack of SAP NetWeaver AS and proper packaging via the ABAP add-on assembly kit. Some SAP NetWeaver Portal integrations may be accomplished via SAP GUI for HTML instead of the business package integration mentioned above.
SAP NetWeaver XI Adapters
SAP XI adapters leverage the easy and efficient integration of third-party applications on the process and content level via the SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure component.
SAP NetWeaver XI Content
SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure offers a complete EAI solution that integrates SAP business system applications as well as non-SAP business solutions (A2A and B2B scenarios). SAP XI content includes all information and knowledge necessary to enable the integration of applications and business processes (collaboration knowledge). Additional certification of XI Content for interoperability with industry standards is also available.
Details of the certification process can be found in the accompanying Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program presentation.
What technical assistance will I receive along the way?
We offer three types of technical assistance:
The SAP Developer Network (SDN) web site: SDN is a community of fellow developers who work with SAP NetWeaver technologies. Please join this community to participate in online forums, Webcasts, and Weblogs around SAP NetWeaver. On SDN you will also find a dedicated SAP ICC Web site containing documentation materials for all integration scenarios above.
SAP Education: SAP education offers basic training for SAP NetWeaver and its different components. Please check the ICC web site on SDN for recommended training classes.
For companies with a valid certification agreement with SAP ICC: SAP assigns an SAP ICC technical consultant(s) to each ISV to provide integration-certification specific education and knowledge transfer in SAP NetWeaver. SAP ICC offers integration consulting and can provide certification testing either remotely or on-site at the SAP ICC certification lab.
What software and licenses do I need?
We provide free trial licenses of software components for development and testing (J2EE engine, SAP NetWeaver Portal, SAP NetWeaver Developer tool, and portal development kit (PDK) on SDN).
SAP sales offices provide in-house licenses for example, ABAP development workbench and SAP Partner Connectivity Kit for SAP NetWeaver XI adapters.
The ICC provides hosted test systems, SAP XI and back-end SAP ERP systems suitable for XI Content certification
How long will it take to complete the Powered by SAP NetWeaver certifications?
The complexity of the application and the integration scenario you select generally determines the timeline. For J2EE deployment, our experience indicates that the average time it takes for certification is three weeks. SAP NetWeaver Portal and iView window and business package integration takes another three weeks. Previous experience integrating with enterprise portals via iView windows or portlets and deploying on J2EE application servers has proven helpful. The duration may therefore greatly differ from vendor to vendor. As a rough estimate for ABAP add-on and SAP NetWeaver XI adapter certification, approximately two to six months are needed to complete a project from registration to publication.
We currently run our application on the IBM WebSphere Application Server (or the BEA WebLogic platform), and customers are very happy with that. Why should we support SAP NetWeaver AS, which is newer and less well-known?
ISVs can reduce their customers TCO and risk by adopting a platform that is quickly becoming the de facto standard among Global 1,000 customers: mySAP Business Suite, powered by SAP NetWeaver. Additionally, SAP NetWeaver is the technology foundation for all new SAP products going forward. As such, it will be implemented at more than 60,000 global SAP installations. Partners can take advantage of this rapidly growing ecosystem by providing customers with solutions that can quickly integrate with SAP NetWeaver.
You should also browse through the information in the SAP/J2EE migration kit.
Why are there both Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions from SAP and Powered by SAP NetWeaver partner solutions?
SAP is using SAP NetWeaver as the technology platform to power all SAP solutions, including mySAP ERP, mySAP CRM, SAP Industry Solutions and SAP xApps. Partners can take advantage of the large and growing installed base of SAP NetWeaver, and leverage the platform that is already installed, thereby lowering the implementation costs of their Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions and lowering the customers TCO (total cost of ownership). SAP-built Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions will therefore run side-by-side with partner-built Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions.
What is the difference between Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions and the SAP xApps portfolio of packaged composite applications?
Except for SAP NetWeaver XI adapters, a certified Powered by SAP NetWeaver solution can be almost any type of enterprise application that runs on SAP NetWeaver AS and integrates with SAP NetWeaver Portal as the user interface. On top of that, the SAP xApps packaged composite applications meet the requirements of Powered by SAP NetWeaver and are consistent with the architecture, features, and functions of a true composite application.
SAP xApps composite applications combine web services and data from multiple systems in an application design made possible by the SAP Composite Application Framework tool within the SAP NetWeaver platform. This framework includes the methodology, tools, and run-time environment to develop composite applications. It provides a consistent object model and a rich user experience, and it gives developers a productive way to create composite applications on top of a set of heterogeneous applications. In addition, SAP xApps composite applications are uniquely differentiated in that they are innovative and highly complementary to SAP applications.
Where can I find more technical information about SAP NetWeaver?
SDN is a knowledge and collaboration environment for the SAP community that is developing and implementing within the SAP NetWeaver technology platform. You can find it on the SDN homepage.
For information on SAP ICC, go to Services on SDN and select Integration & Certification.
SAP NetWeaver Portal Business Package Integration
What is required for a business package to pass certification?
All requirements of the business package certification are specified in the test plan, which can be requested from your SAP ICC. The technical requirements for successful certification of a business package include:
Support single sign-on (SSO) to SAP NetWeaver Portal (where applicable).
Adhere to the SAP NetWeaver Portal look and feel (branding)
Provide full support for at least one web browser that is also supported by SAP NetWeaver Portal.
What tools can I use to develop a business package?
We recommend using SAP NetWeaver Development Studio as the integrated development environment (IDE) for your development. In addition, SAP provides the Portal Development Kit (PDK), which provides a wealth of documentation, tutorials, and tools to help you with your content development. The PDK for the Java platform, as well as the PDK for the .NET platform, can be downloaded free from SDN for SAP NetWeaver Portal 5 (only Java) and SAP NetWeaver Portal 6 - see the SDN Download Catalog.
Our application does not require authentication. Do we still need to support SSO requirements for business package certification?
No. The basic idea behind the SSO requirement is to eliminate the need for further manual authentications for an end user who has already logged on to SAP NetWeaver Portal. If your back end (and thus the business package) does not need to authenticate users, this requirement does not apply to your business package.
How can a business package support SSO with SAP NetWeaver Portal?
A business package can implement SSO with SAP NetWeaver Portal in either of the following ways:
SSO based on user mapping, where the portal user is mapped to another user in the external system of the business package. (For information on user mapping-based SSO, see the SAP Library.
SSO based on SAP logon ticket, where the business package retrieves the information about the logged-on user in SAP NetWeaver Portal and verifies it so that the external system can authenticate the user. (As part of the PDK 6.0, please see the javadoc for the class com.sap.security.api.ticket.TicketVerifier as part of the user management service APIs.)
See the SSO-related Weblogs on the SAP ICC homepage on SDN.
J2EE Deployment
What versions of the J2EE standard does SAP NetWeaver support?
SAP NetWeaver supports two versions of the J2EE standard:
J2EE 1.2: SAP NetWeaver AS 6.20
J2EE 1.3: SAP NetWeaver AS 6.40
What Java Development Kit (JDK) versions does SAP NetWeaver require?
Two JDK versions are required:
SAP NetWeaver AS 6.20: JDK 1.3.1 or higher version, below JDK 1.4
For supported platforms, please contact the SAP ICC.
SAP NetWeaver AS 6.40: JDK 1.4.2_07 or higher version below JDK 1.5
SAP supports the following platforms (latest operating system patches as of March 2005):
Solaris SPARC 32 Bit + 64 Bit
Linux 32 Bit + 64 Bit (Itanium)
Windows 32 Bit + 64 Bit (Itanium)
NOTE: On Windows 2003 server, please make sure you have installed Microsoft Hotfix 841176, to be found at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=841176
For up-to-date requirements, please contact the SAP ICC or visit the SAP ICC homepage.
What do we need to do to have our J2EE application certified?
Certification of deployment on the J2EE Engine in SAP NetWeaver AS has two basic requirements:
First, the third-party J2EE application must be successfully deployed onto the J2EE Engine in SAP NetWeaver AS.
Second, after deployment, the application must run as expected based on a mutually agreed-upon test plan.
How can I deploy my application into the J2EE engine in SAP NetWeaver AS? Does the certification require that we use a particular method?
You can use any of the deployment methods provided by SAP for certification. However, the deployment process will differ, based on the version of the J2EE Engine in SAP NetWeaver AS that you use.
For J2EE Engine 6.20, a J2EE application can be deployed onto SAP NetWeaver AS in four different ways, as documented in the deployment manual.
For J2EE Engine 6.40, refer to the Deployment: Putting It All Together section in SAP online help for a detailed explanation of the different deployment methods in version 6.40 of the J2EE engine and SAP NetWeaver AS.
What enhancements does version 6.40 of the J2EE engine in SAP NetWeaver AS offer versus 6.20?
Find out how version 6.40 of the J2EE Engine in SAP NetWeaver AS improves on 6.20.
Are there any advantages to using SAP NetWeaver AS to develop J2EE applications that run in an SAP solution-based environment (compared to using IBM WebSphere or BEA WebLogic)?
The broad customer base of SAP that has installed the SAP NetWeaver platform can select your J2EE application, which can be deployed and run on the J2EE engine. No other non-SAP/J2EE application server is needed.
How difficult will it be to port my J2EE application that currently runs on IBM WebSphere or BEA WebLogic to SAP NetWeaver AS?
SAP NetWeaver AS is fully J2EE-compatible; if your application was developed following the J2EE specifications, the porting of your J2EE application to SAP NetWeaver AS should be very easy. You should also browse through the information in the J2EE migration kit.
What if I run into problems during the porting/deployment of my J2EE applications to SAP NetWeaver AS?
We recommend that you join SDN and consult its forums and documentation. Here you will find a wealth of experience in installing SAP NetWeaver, porting, and so forth from your fellow developers. If you have a contract for consulting or certification with SAP ICC in place, a designated SAP consultant would help you resolve the problems.
ABAP Deployment
How does an ABAP application become certified as Powered by SAP NetWeaver?
The ABAP application (add-on) needs to meet all of the following criteria:
The add-on must be ABAP-certified on the ABAP stack of SAP NetWeaver AS 6.20 or higher and contain GUI elements that are supported by the SAP GUI for HTML.
If the add-on solution contains additional J2EE parts, these parts must also run on the SAP NetWeaver platform and could be certified for their deployment on the J2EE stack.
The add-on needs to be packaged and distributed using the SAP add-on assembly kit. This tool is available as part of the certification agreement.
What are the benefits to an SAP customer of using an SAP-certified ABAP add-on?
Customers can import and maintain the third-party add-on using the SAP standard transactions SAINT and SPAM. It is assured that the add-on can be used and controlled using SAP NetWeaver Portal.
SAP Netweaver XI Adapters
How does an SAP NetWeaver XI adapter become certified as Powered by SAP NetWeaver?
SAP ICC provides certification opportunities for third-party adapters for the SAP NetWeaver XI adapter framework (NW-XI-AF). These adapters must be implemented as resource adapters of the Java Connector Architecture 1.0. Adapters enable the SAP NetWeaver XI integration engine to talk to different application components or industry standards. Within SAP NetWeaver XI, it is important that the adapters are lightweight, in case the integration directory must be used to keep track of required services and mappings. To pass integration certification testing, SAP NetWeaver XI adapters are also required to build the connection directly to other applications or technical systems and must be deployed to SAP NetWeaver XI.
ISVs can use SAP Partner Connectivity Kit, available through any SAP sales office, as the platform to develop their SAP NetWeaver XI adapters.
What are the benefits to a customer for using an SAP-certified SAP NetWeaver XI adapter?
Customers are assured that the adapter is embedded properly on the SAP NetWeaver platform. Monitoring and configuration of this adapter can be centrally handled via SAP NetWeaver XI. No additional software systems are needed to run an SAP- certified SAP NetWeaver XI adapter.
SAP NetWeaver XI Content Certification
How does a SAP NetWeaver XI content become certified as Powered by SAP NetWeaver?
The XI content needs to meet all of the following criteria:
All XI objects must be embedded in one or more integration scenarios
Optional XI content can be developed supporting industry standards. The industry standard interfaces must be utilized on one side of the integration scenario
ISVs have to specify required functional test cases to ensure the functional correctness of all objects contained in the integration scenarios
ISVs must provide the documentation of the required design and configuration steps
What are the benefits to a customer for using SAP-certified SAP NetWeaver XI content?
XI Content is a key differentiator of our integration solutions. SAP delivers XI content to facilitate the implementation process and thus reduce the TCO for the customers. Customers easily understand the underlying business scenarios of XI content objects.

Need clarification on SAP NetWeaver Certification

I am having six months experience in SAP. Now I have planned to take NetWeaver certification. I know the following ways.
1) Attend an Instructor-led ABAP Certification Academy(25 working days, 8hrs/day, 5 days/week, approx Rs.3 Lakh) at an SAP Education Center or Partner such as Siemens, Genovate etc.
2) Attend an e-learning course at an SAP Online Contact Center(flexible times, no instructor, approx Rs.1,25,000)
3) Get your company to endorse your ABAP Experience and sponsor your certification(approx Rs.28000, exam only, no materials, no training!)
4) Register for SAP TechEd and hope they offer a complimentary certification like they do every year(3 days, lots of fun, should be around Rs.15000, no training, a few materials)
But I heard that there is one more way of doing that, without affording such a big amount and having less experience. Is that true? Can anyone help me out?

Hi Ravi
Suppose a note X says corrections are delivered in the attached correction instruction, then its enough if we implement that specific note X.
=>Before implementing those correction verify whether that X note applicable to your system release. Also verify is any manual code correction instructed in that note.
If we go to correction instruction then it may have several other notes, do we need to implement all those notes specified in correction instruction 1st and then implement main note or directly we can apply Main note X.
=> Before implementing those correction verify whether that X note applicable to your system release or its already implemented in your system. All these Prerequisites need to implement before final correction.
If we apply main note obvisoulsy all the notes within correction instructions will be implemented.
=> No we need to implement Prerequisites notes before main notes.
Thank
